Blood on the windows
Millions of ordinary people are there
They gaze at the scenery
They act as if it is perfectly clear
Take a look at the mountains
Take a look at the beautiful river of blood.
The liquid surrounds me
I fight to rise from this river of hell
I stare round about me
Children are swimming and playing with boats
Their features are changing
Their bodies dissolve and I am alone.
Now see what you`ve gone and done.
Now see what you`ve gone and done.
Well now you never did see such a terrible thing
As was seen last night on T.V.
Maybe if we`re lucky, they will show it again
Such a terrible thing to see - oh
But there`s nothing you can do when you`re next in line
You`ve got to go domino.
Now I`m one with the living and I`m feeling just fine
I know just what I gotta do
Play the game of happiness and never let on
That it only lives on in a song - oh
Well there`s nothing you can do when you`re next in line
You`ve got to go domino.
Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you`ve begun?
In silence and darkness
Hold each other near tonight
For will it last forever?
Will it last forever - forever...
There`s nothing you can do when you`re the next in line
You`ve got to go domino.
Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done
Do you see what you`ve begun?
Cos there`s nothing, nothing, nothing
There`s nothing you can do, there`s nothing you can do
Do you see, do you see what you have done?
